AceShowbiz - Clay Walker's wife has suffered a miscarriage at 20 weeks. The "She Won't Be Lonely Long" crooner, who shares five kids with Jessica Craig, revealed that his spouse was halfway through her pregnancy with their sixth child when she suffered a pregnancy loss.
"We had her room ready, her clothes bought, everything, and her name, Eleanora Lindsey. So, it was a nightmare and still is for my wife," the 53-year-old told PEOPLE. "We were at 20 weeks, and we'd already made it through the toughest part. We've had five successful full-term pregnancies and five beautiful children. It's tough."
Clay added that everything seemed "perfect" when Jessica had a scan at 13 weeks and he hates not being able to do anything about the situation, even though they have a "great" support network. "We had the 13-week checkup and we saw her doing acrobats. We ere laughing so hard because she was so active," he recalled.
"And just everything was o perfect We've got a great friend group that's been there for us, you know, a lot of prayers. And we've had a lot of prayer internally in our home," he continued recounting. "But still, you know, I could talk all day about this. I just don't know how moms make it through the rest of their lives with that kind of pain."
"It's just so, so deep. And you know, as a husband and a father, not being able to do anything about it, not being able to protect my wife's feelings or the baby, sucks," the country star lamented. "[I] felt like we got run over by a train and just watching my wife suffer through. I feel for all the women out there who have been through a miscarriage, just because you're losing a child."
